Can't say they don't until we find out which teams are better than them. Challenger scene is a bit stronger now though, team 8, c9 Tempest, and LMQ are the favorites, but c9 couldn't make it in last time so...

It's just the nature of NA to have a bunch of shitter teams. NA has a lot less players than pretty much every other major region.

i think you guys are forgetting complexity black.. they have been in the scene and are still doing pretty well. they'll have a really good chance when promotional playoffs swing by

It's all up. ty to Alaric for helping me out with the picks/bans and polls.

I will state again though: I am probably not the best person for doing LR threads since I tend to watch games later. I'm also the only person who does them for NA atm (except when JBright picks up my slack, but he's got enough on his plate). If someone ever wants to run an LR thread (as in, getting things written ON TIME), just PM me. I can give you all the setup and assets. You'll just have to update through the weekend.

They will be just smashed by C9T this time i guess because C9T really needs this win, and in Promotion Tournament everything can happen.
But they were just literally demolished without any fight by EG, arguably weakest team in LCS right now. It's something.

And knowing how Westrice and Robert just crumble under the pressure on big stage in big matches, uh.

If C9T qualifies to play against relegated team, they will be only team which i will favour against anyone. Especially it will be fun if they play against Curse.
LMQ weren't unbeatable in games against CLB, and i dunno what can happen if they play against higher caliber teams like XDG or EG.
But as we all know, Promotion Tournaments deliver weird stuff sometimes like COGnitive. So i won't be surprised if for example Tails will carry vVv to LCS.

lmq's weakness is also eg's weakness though. it's hard to tell who's worse, snoopeh or noname. i guess snoopeh is still worse
